This case report of giant cell granuloma involving the maxilla is of particular interest for two reasons: the locally aggressive clinical course contrasting with the diagnosis of a benign disease and the spectacular, although transient, response under steroid treatment. Corticotherapy should be further tested in cases of invasive or recurring giant cell granuloma., Case Reports, Journal Article, SCOPUS: ar.j, FLWNA, info:eu-repo/semantics/published
